In our first half of this weeks life drawing I experimented with using the i pad to draw on. I found this very daunting and was not really sure how it would work and if it would be a bit uncontrollable. However after a tutorial and a few mess ups, I began to create some okay work on the i pad. The end products were a lot better than I was expecting. Firstly I was trying to draw a solid black outline of the figure and then fill in however I think my other pieces of artwork are a lot more effective as these are done with different colours using a scribbly and free looking technique to blend and mix the skin tones together and then work back into the figure with more detail which I would have done more of if I'd had more time. I found it quite hard to work quickly using this technique as it was very different to anything I had done before with regards to drawing.
The second part of the life drawing day I worked in graphite stick to create my images of the figure. I thought that this technique would be quite difficult as it is a chunky media to work with. However I found that as the media was thick, one had to draw in a different style. This meant it was less about fine detail and more about getting the tones and markings in the correct place. I was a bit worried about the surface on which I was drawing on, because it was very uneven in places, however I discovered that from a distance the marks created appear very effective and add character to the pieces of artwork.
